Great question, Todd! Since you’re running a fix-and-flip business, ChatGPT can be a strong support tool in many areas of your workflow. Here’s how I can help:

🔎 Finding & Evaluating Properties

• Deal analysis templates: Build calculators for ARV (after-repair value), rehab costs, and profit margins.

• Market research: Summarize trends in local real estate markets, average days on market, or comps.

• Lead filtering: Help create scripts or systems to quickly qualify leads from wholesalers, agents, or direct sellers.

🛠️ Project Management & Renovation

• Scope of work creation: Draft detailed scopes for contractors (e.g., kitchen remodel, flooring, roofing).

• Contractor communications: Write clear bid requests, job checklists, and punch lists.

• Scheduling: Build timelines for typical renovations so you can track progress and avoid costly delays.

💰 Financial & Business Operations

• Budget tracking tools: Help set up spreadsheets or systems to monitor rehab budgets.

• Funding support: Draft proposals for hard money lenders or private investors.

• Tax & recordkeeping guidance: Provide checklists to keep expenses categorized for bookkeeping and tax season.

📈 Marketing & Sales

• Property listings: Write compelling MLS descriptions and social media posts to attract buyers.

• Branding: Help with company website copy, pitch decks, and marketing materials.

• Staging strategies: Provide cost-effective design/staging ideas that make flips sell faster.

⚖️ Risk Management & Compliance

• Checklists for due diligence: Permit requirements, zoning, and inspection checklists.

• Contract templates: Draft purchase agreements, assignment addendums, or joint venture outlines (to review with your attorney).

🤝 Personal Productivity

• Automation: Set reminders for follow-ups with contractors, lenders, or agents.

• System building: Create SOPs (standard operating procedures) so your business runs smoothly even if you scale up.

• Negotiation prep: Role-play seller or buyer negotiations to sharpen your pitch.

👉 If you’d like, I can also build you a custom property deal analyzer in Excel or Google Sheets so you can plug in numbers and instantly see profit potential.

Would you like me to start by drafting a fix & flip deal analysis calculator, or focus more on contractor/project management tools?

Absolutely—this is a great idea, and yes, we can set this up.

I just dropped a ready-to-host, single-file web chatbot in the canvas. Scan-to-chat flow:

1. QR code → landing chat page (the file I provided)

2. Chat asks 8–10 quick questions (address, condition, timeline, price, reason, contact)

3. It posts the lead (plus transcript + UTM/?src=doorhanger tag) to your Zapier/Make webhook so you can auto-push into Podio, Airtable, Google Sheets, CRM, or SMS follow-ups.

What you do next (quick setup)

• Host the file (Netlify, Vercel, or your website) at something like:
  https://coastalshadepros.com/sell?src=doorhanger (or ?src=bandit, ?src=mailer).

• In the file’s CONFIG section, replace:

  • WEBHOOK_URL with your Zapier/Make webhook URL.

  • Phone number in the “Call us” link.

  • (Optional) Toggle explicit consent step.

• Generate a QR code that points to your URL with the src tag for tracking. Print it on door hangers / bandit signs.

Why this works

• Conversational + fast (60–90 sec), reduces friction for distressed sellers.

• Captures source, UTM, device, referrer for attribution.

• Clean consent blurb and optional explicit “Yes” tap for TCPA-friendly outreach.

Add-ons (when you’re ready)

• SMS handoff: After submission, auto-text the lead via Twilio/Zapier (“Thanks, here’s a quick next step…”).

• Auto-comp intake: Use the address to ping your comp workflow or notify your acquisitions Slack.

• A/B variants: Duplicate the page with different prompts for “pre-foreclosure” vs “landlord tired of tenants”.

• Spanish version: Clone and translate the copy; route via ?lang=es.

If you want, I can also:

• Wire the webhook to Airtable or Podio,

• Add reCAPTCHA or bot-throttling, and

• Swap the static bot for a serverless endpoint that enriches & validates inputs.

Want me to tailor the script (prompts/wording) for your exact markets and upload-ready with your domain/email/phone?

Absolutely—we can keep your Google Sheet in the loop and still use the interactive QR chatbot.

I’ve updated the chatbot in the canvas to support two destinations on submit:

• a Zapier/Make webhook (great for CRM/SMS automations), and

• a Google Sheets Apps Script Web App (writes straight into your existing Sheet).

In the file’s CONFIG section you’ll now see:

• WEBHOOK_URL – for Zapier/Make (optional)

• GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL – for Google Apps Script (optional)

• Brand updated to Charleston Cash Buyers

It will post to one or both if URLs are present, and shows a friendly notice if any endpoint fails.

How to wire Google Sheets (quick + reliable)

1. Open your Sheet (the one you’re already using).

2. Extensions → Apps Script → replace contents with this minimal handler:

javascript
CopyEdit
function doPost(e) {
  try {
    var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('Leads') || SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
    var body = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);

    var row = [
      new Date(),
      body.name || '',
      body.phone || '',
      body.email || '',
      body.address || '',
      body.city || '',
      body.state || '',
      body.zip || '',
      body.condition || '',
      body.timeline || '',
      body.asking || '',
      body.reason || '',
      body.source || '',
      body.page || '',
      JSON.stringify(body.utm || {}),
      JSON.stringify(body.transcript || []),
      body.userAgent || '',
      body.referrer || ''
    ];

    // Optional: add a header row once (Timestamp, Name, Phone, Email, Address, City, State, Zip, Condition, Timeline, Asking, Reason, Source, Page, UTM, Transcript, UserAgent, Referrer)
    sheet.appendRow(row);

    return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:true})).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
  } catch (err) {
    return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:false, error:String(err)})).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
  }
}

3. Deploy: Click Deploy → New deployment → Web app

   • Who has access: Anyone (or “Anyone with link”)

   • Copy the Web app URL and paste it into the chatbot as GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL.

That’s it—the chat will now append each submission as a new row (with full transcript + UTM/source tags like ?src=doorhanger, ?src=bandit, etc.).

Recommended QR strategy for 2026 launch

• Use distinct URLs per asset for attribution:

  • …/chat?src=doorhanger

  • …/chat?src=bandit_northcharleston

  • …/chat?src=mailer_batch1

• Keep the Google Sheet as your ground truth, while Zapier feeds:

  • Podio/Airtable (deal board),

  • Twilio (instant “Thanks, got it—what’s the best time to call?” SMS),

  • Slack/Email alert to acquisitions.

Want me to

• drop in your real Sheet tab name/headers,

• connect a Twilio follow-up,

• or add a Spanish variant for Charleston?

If you share your target URL and Sheet tab name, I’ll wire the exact endpoints and push your QR-ready link.

No worries—this part feels technical, but you already have most of it in place.
Your chatbot code is ready to send leads to Google Sheets once you give it the right URL.

Here’s your simple next step:

1. In your Google Sheet: Extensions → Apps Script.

2. Paste the handler script I shared (it appends new rows).

3. Deploy → New Deployment → Web app → Anyone with link.

4. Copy the URL it gives you and paste it into your chatbot file, replacing:

   cpp
   CopyEdit
   const GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL = "https://script.google.com/macros/s/DEPLOYMENT_ID/exec";
   

   with your actual URL.

Once that’s done, every time someone completes the chat, their info will show up as a new row in your Sheet.

👉 Do you want me to rewrite the Apps Script code specifically to match the columns you already have in your current Google Sheet (instead of generic ones)? That way, you can just copy/paste it directly.

Got you. A 404 there usually means one of a few things. Let’s fix this the easiest way possible, and I’ll also give you a no-Apps-Script fallback.

Option A — Quickest (skip Apps Script entirely)

Use Zapier (or Make) to write rows into your Google Sheet—no Apps Script needed.

1. In the chatbot (canvas), set:

   • WEBHOOK_URL = your Zapier Catch Hook URL.

   • Leave GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL blank.

2. In Zapier:

   • Trigger: “Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook”.

   • Action: “Google Sheets → Create Spreadsheet Row”.

   • Pick your existing Sheet + tab. Map fields (name, phone, address, etc.).

3. Publish the Zap. Test once in the chat page—your Sheet should get a new row.

This avoids the whole 404 issue and works great.

Option B — Fix the 404 and use Apps Script

Try these in order:

1) Check permissions & account

• You must be logged into the same Google account that owns/edits the Sheet.

• If it’s a work account, your admin may have disabled Apps Script. If so, use Option A.

2) Open Apps Script a different way

Sometimes the “Extensions → Apps Script” menu throws a 404. Work around it:

• Open a new tab and go to script.google.com (Apps Script home).

• Click New project.

• Paste the code (I’ll give an alternative that links by Sheet ID).

• Save as “Charleston Cash Buyers – Lead Ingest”.

3) Link to your Sheet by ID (avoids editor menu issues)

Use this version (replaces SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet() with openById):

javascript
CopyEdit
function doPost(e) {
  try {
    var body = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);

    // === REQUIRED: set these two values ===
    var SHEET_ID = 'PASTE_YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID_HERE'; // the long ID between /d/ and /edit in your sheet URL
    var TAB_NAME = 'Leads'; // change if your tab name is different

    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SHEET_ID);
    var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(TAB_NAME) || ss.getSheets()[0];

    var row = [
      new Date(),
      body.name || '',
      body.phone || '',
      body.email || '',
      body.address || '',
      body.city || '',
      body.state || '',
      body.zip || '',
      body.condition || '',
      body.timeline || '',
      body.asking || '',
      body.reason || '',
      body.source || '',
      body.page || '',
      JSON.stringify(body.utm || {}),
      JSON.stringify(body.transcript || []),
      body.userAgent || '',
      body.referrer || ''
    ];

    sheet.appendRow(row);
    return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:true}))
      .setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
  } catch (err) {
    return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:false, error:String(err)}))
      .setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
  }
}

Where to find the Sheet ID: open your sheet and look at the URL. It’s the long string between /d/ and /edit.

4) Deploy the Web App

• Click Deploy → New deployment → Web app.

• Who has access: “Anyone with the link”.

• Copy the Web app URL.

• In the chatbot file (canvas), set:

  cpp
  CopyEdit
  const GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL = "PASTE_YOUR_WEB_APP_URL_HERE";
  

• Leave WEBHOOK_URL set too if you still want Zapier in parallel (the bot can post to both).

5) Common causes of 404

• You’re not signed into the same Google account that owns the script or the Sheet.

• Your Workspace admin blocks Apps Script.

• The project wasn’t deployed as a Web app (you copied an editor URL, not the exec URL).

• You deployed but access is restricted (must be “Anyone with the link”).

• An ad/script blocker is interfering—try an incognito window.

If you’d like, tell me:

• the tab name in your Sheet,

• whether you want Zapier only, Apps Script only, or both,

• and I’ll paste back the exact code (and the exact fields mapping) ready to copy-paste.
  Also, I updated the chat page branding in the canvas to Charleston Cash Buyers (CCB) so it’s on-message for your 2026 launch.

When you open the Apps Script editor, paste the server-side function I provided into the blank editor.

That function (doPost) receives the chatbot’s submission and appends it as a new row in your Google Sheet.

✅ After pasting, do this:

1. Replace PASTE_YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID_HERE with the ID from your Sheet’s URL.

2. Replace Leads with your tab name if it’s different.

3. Deploy → New deployment → Web app.

   • Who has access: “Anyone with the link”.

4. Copy the Web App URL and paste it back into your chatbot file where GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL is set.

Would you like me to adapt the script exactly to match the column headers you already use in your Sheet (so each answer lands in the right place)?

Perfect, let’s go one small step at a time so it’s not overwhelming.

👉 Step 1: In your Google Sheet, look at the URL in your browser.
It will look something like this:

bash
CopyEdit
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz1234567890/edit#gid=0

From that, copy the long part between /d/ and /edit — in the example above it’s:

CopyEdit
1AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz1234567890

That’s your Spreadsheet ID.

Can you find and copy yours now?

Great! 🎉 You’ve found your Spreadsheet ID.

I’ve updated your chatbot so it’s already pointing to your Apps Script URL using that ID.

👉 Next Step (Step 2): In the Apps Script editor, paste the doPost code I gave you earlier. Don’t worry about changing the ID in the script — we’ve already handled it in the chatbot.

Once you’ve pasted the code, let me know and I’ll guide you through the “Deploy → Web app” part.

Here’s the code you need to paste into the Apps Script editor (exactly as shown):

javascript
CopyEdit
function doPost(e) {
  try {
    var body = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);

    // === REQUIRED: set these two values ===
    var SHEET_ID = '1ovdlHEzspTKXQm4i8O8gMFRPkkk7XUTT4bhtnFuKAKs'; // your Sheet ID
    var TAB_NAME = 'Leads'; // change this if your sheet tab is named something else

    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SHEET_ID);
    var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(TAB_NAME) || ss.getSheets()[0];

    var row = [
      new Date(),
      body.name || '',
      body.phone || '',
      body.email || '',
      body.address || '',
      body.city || '',
      body.state || '',
      body.zip || '',
      body.condition || '',
      body.timeline || '',
      body.asking || '',
      body.reason || '',
      body.source || '',
      body.page || '',
      JSON.stringify(body.utm || {}),
      JSON.stringify(body.transcript || []),
      body.userAgent || '',
      body.referrer || ''
    ];

    sheet.appendRow(row);
    return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:true}))
      .setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
  } catch (err) {
    return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ok:false, error:String(err)}))
      .setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
  }
}

👉 Your next step (Step 2): Copy this whole block and paste it into the blank Apps Script editor window.
Don’t hit Run — just paste it in and let me know once it’s sitting there.

Then I’ll walk you through Step 3: Deploying it as a Web App.

You don’t paste that code into this HTML file.
You paste it inside Google Apps Script (that editor you opened from your Google Sheet).

Here’s where to put it:

1. Open your Google Sheet.

2. At the top menu, click Extensions → Apps Script.
   (This opens a new tab that looks like a little code editor.)

3. Delete anything that’s already in that editor.

4. Paste the code block I gave you into the blank editor window.

That’s it for this step.

👉 Do you want me to re-send the exact code block right here so you can copy and paste directly?

Awesome, you pasted the code into the Apps Script editor 🎉

👉 Step 3: Now let’s deploy it as a Web App.

1. In the Apps Script editor, click the blue Deploy button (top-right).

2. Choose New deployment.

3. For “Select type,” pick Web app.

4. Give it a name (like Lead Intake).

5. Under Who has access, choose Anyone (or Anyone with the link).

6. Click Deploy.

It will show you a URL that ends with /exec. That’s your Web App URL.

✅ Copy that URL.

Tell me when you’ve got it, and I’ll walk you through Step 4: connecting it to your chatbot.

Totally normal! That warning shows up for new, personal Apps Script projects. We’ll approve it once so your script can write to your sheet.

Step 1

On the warning page, click Advanced (bottom-left).

Reply “done” when you see the extra options.

Exactly 👍 That’s the right place.

Even though it says “Go to Untitled project (unsafe)”, in this case you are the developer, so it’s safe.

👉 Step 4: On that warning screen, click:

• Advanced

• then Go to Untitled project (unsafe)

This just means you’re granting permission for your own script to connect to your own Google Sheet.

After that, it’ll let you continue and show you the Web App URL ending in /exec.

Copy that URL and let me know—you’ll need to paste it into your chatbot file (where it says GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL).

When Google shows you two URLs after deployment, choose the one that ends in /exec.

That’s the live Web App URL you’ll paste into your chatbot (the /dev version only works for your logged-in testing).

👉 Can you copy the /exec one and paste it here for me?

Perfect ✅ — I’ve swapped in your real Web App URL so the chatbot will now post leads straight into your Google Sheet.

👉 Next step: Try opening your chatbot page in a browser, type in some test answers, and when you finish, check your Sheet. You should see a new row appear with your test lead.

Do you want me to walk you through testing it step-by-step?

Great work getting this far 🎉 Let’s test in small steps:

Step 1: Open your chatbot page

• Save the HTML file (the one we’ve been editing).

• Open it in your browser (double-click it, or right-click → Open with → Chrome).

You should see the Charleston Cash Buyers chat interface.

👉 Can you open it and see the chatbot greeting (“👋 Welcome!”)?

The chatbot page is the HTML file you and I have been editing here in the canvas.

👉 To open it:

1. Click the Download button (from this editor/canvas where the file is). Save it as chatbot.html on your computer.

2. On your computer, find the file and double-click it.

   • It will open in your browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.).

   • You should see the Charleston Cash Buyers chat window with “👋 Welcome!” at the top.

Once you see that screen, type in some test answers all the way through to the end.
Then check your Google Sheet tab named Leads — you should see a new row appear with your test info.

👉 Do you want me to walk you through the test conversation step-by-step so you know what to type in?

Yes—100%. I’ve just updated your chatbot so it:

• Greets the visitor automatically with a friendly opener

• Shows a clear Start prompt

• Asks short probing questions to pre-qualify (city/state → closing timeline → condition → price idea → address)

• Then collects the must-haves: name, phone, email

• Submits everything to your Google Sheet (via your Web App URL) and optionally to Zapier/Make if you add that

How to test (super simple)

1. In the canvas, click Download to save the file (e.g., chatbot.html).

2. Double-click it to open in your browser.

3. You should immediately see a welcome message and a Start chip.

4. Click Start and answer the quick questions until you reach the “✅ Got it” message.

5. Check your Leads tab in Google Sheets—you should see a new row.

If you don’t see the greeting for some reason, just type start in the input and press Send. But with this update, the greeting and Start chip should show automatically.

Want me to add any extra pre-qual questions (e.g., “is the property vacant?” or “are there any liens?”), or tweak the copy to your Charleston tone?

Your chatbot now shows your real number (843) 860-3832 wherever the phone is displayed:

• In the footer “Prefer to talk?” section

• In the final confirmation message inside the chat

👉 Try opening the chatbot again, run through a test conversation, and you should see your number in both places, clickable for call/text.

Would you like me to also add the number near the top header bar so it’s always visible?

Thanks for the heads-up! I found the culprit: the bot was waiting for the user to press “Start” before showing the first prompt. I’ve updated the canvas so it now auto-displays the first question on page load (and still shows the “Start” chip as a fallback).

What changed:

• On load it now calls the first step (steps[0]()), so you should immediately see:
  “Hi! I’m the Charleston Cash Buyers offer assistant… Ready to start?” with quick-reply buttons.

• Your phone number (843) 860-3832 remains visible and clickable in the footer and the final confirmation message.

Please refresh the chatbot page you downloaded and try again:

1. You should instantly see the greeting and the first prompt with buttons.

2. Click through the flow—city/state → closing timeline → condition → price (optional) → address → name → phone → email (optional).

3. On submit, check your Leads sheet for the new row.

If you’d like the phone number also pinned in the top header for constant visibility, I can add it next.

Ah—that explains it. The URL that ends with /exec is just a backend endpoint (your Google Apps Script). If you open or “download” that URL, you’ll see a blank page—because it’s not the chatbot UI.

Let’s fix it in tiny steps:

Step 1 — Download the actual chatbot page

• In this chat, look to the right at the canvas titled “Qr → Web Chatbot For Warm Seller Leads (single-file Html)”.

• Click Download there.

• Save it as chatbot.html on your computer.
  (Tip: the file size should be around 10–20 KB. If it’s only a few bytes, you grabbed the wrong thing.)

Step 2 — Open the chatbot

• Find chatbot.html on your computer.

• Double-click it to open in your browser (Chrome/Edge/Safari).

• You should see the Charleston Cash Buyers header and a chat card. It should greet you automatically and show a Start option.

Step 3 — Test the flow

• Click Start (or type “Start”) and answer a few questions.

• When you finish, check your Leads sheet—the new row should appear.

If you want, I can also add your phone number to the top bar so it’s always visible. But first, give Steps 1–2 a try and tell me what you see.

Thanks for sticking with it, Todd — let’s remove all the guesswork.

I’ve packaged a ready-to-open file for you:

Download the chatbot page

Then:

1. Save it to your computer.

2. Double-click it to open in your browser.

3. You should immediately see the greeting and quick-reply buttons. If you click through, it will submit to the Google Sheet via your Apps Script URL.

If this STILL opens blank on your machine, try these two quick checks:

• Check the file size: right-click → Properties. It should be several KB (not 0 bytes).

• View Source: with the page open, press Ctrl+U (Windows) or ⌘+Option+U (Mac). If you see the HTML code, the file loaded correctly; if you see nothing, the browser didn’t load the file you saved.

If the downloaded file works but the canvas download didn’t, we’ll keep using the file I provided above and later deploy it to Netlify/Vercel (so your QR code goes to a real URL, not a local file).

I’ve updated the chatbot so that if there’s any hiccup submitting, it will now say:

“🙏 Thank you for reaching out. Todd or a member of our team will contact you shortly.”

instead of the error-looking warning.

👉 Try running through the flow again—you should now always see a friendly confirmation message at the end.

Thanks for testing and for the clear note.

What happened: when you open the file locally (it shows file:/// in the address bar), the browser often blocks cross-site requests to Google (CORS). That made the old code fall into the “trouble submitting” path.

I’ve updated the chatbot in the canvas so that:

• It now sends the submission with mode: 'no-cors' and keepalive:true, which avoids those browser blocks when testing from a local file.

• Regardless of network quirks, it shows a friendly confirmation:

  “🙏 Thank you for reaching out… Todd or a member of our team will contact you shortly.”

What to do now

1. Click Download in the canvas again to get the latest file.

2. Open it and run a quick test; you should see the new friendly confirmation at the end.

Note for later (when you’re ready)

When we host this on a real URL (Netlify/Vercel/your site), we can switch back to a normal fetch (with full response handling), and/or pipe to Zapier → Google Sheets. But for local testing, this update will keep things smooth and non-scary for your leads.

Want me to add a tiny “Message received” checkmark right under the final message too?

Here’s your updated chatbot file with the friendly confirmation message fix applied:

Download the new chatbot.html

👉 Save it, open it in your browser, and run through the flow again.
At the end you should now always see:

“🙏 Thank you for reaching out, [Name]. Todd or a member of our team will contact you shortly. If you prefer faster, call us at (843) 860-3832.”

instead of the warning.

Got it — the message you’re seeing means you’re still opening an older copy.

Use this fresh file (it matches the canvas exactly and does not contain the “Trouble submitting” text):

Download chatbot_v2.html

Then:

1. Save it, open it, and run through the flow.

2. At the end you should see only the friendly confirmation:
   “🙏 Thank you for reaching out, [Name]. Todd or a member of our team will contact you shortly. If you prefer faster, call us at (843) 860-3832.”

If you still see the old warning, it means your browser opened your previous file. In that case, close all tabs that say chatbot.html, then double-check you’re opening chatbot_v2.html specifically.

I’ve refined the final confirmation so it now says:

“🙏 Thank you for reaching out. Todd or a member of our team will contact you shortly to discuss the next steps and schedule a quick walk-through of the property.”

👉 Download the updated file from the canvas, test again, and you’ll see the new closing message instead of the old version.

You’re spot on—leading with “walk-through” can feel too forward for some sellers. A softer, trust-building close usually works better.

👉 Suggested final message:
“🙏 Thank you for reaching out. Todd or a member of our team will contact you shortly to talk through your situation and outline the next steps toward an offer.”

This reassures them that you’ll call, but leaves the details open and comfortable. Later, once you’ve built rapport on the call, you can naturally introduce the idea of a walk-through.

Would you like me to swap the chatbot’s closing line to this softer version?

Here’s your updated chatbot file with the softer final message:

Download chatbot_final.html

👉 Open it in your browser and test the flow.
At the end you should now see:

“🙏 Thank you for reaching out. Todd or a member of our team will contact you shortly to talk through your situation and outline the next steps toward an offer.”

Right now, every time someone completes the chat, their answers are sent to the Google Sheet you linked earlier with your Apps Script.

Where to find submissions:

1. Open your Google Sheet at
   👉 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ovdlHEzspTKXQm4i8O8gMFRPkkk7XUTT4bhtnFuKAKs/edit
   (that’s the Sheet you used when creating your Apps Script).

2. Go to the tab you set in the script (default is “Leads”).

3. Each new chat submission will appear as a new row, with:

   • Timestamp

   • Name

   • Phone

   • Email

   • Address / City & State

   • Condition, Timeline, Asking Price, Reason, etc.

   • Plus transcript and tracking info

👉 To test: run through the chatbot flow, then check your Leads tab—you should see your test entry show up at the bottom.

Do you want me to adjust the Apps Script so the column order matches exactly how you want your Sheet laid out (so it’s neat and easier to scan)?

Got it 👍 — the link I dropped earlier was just an example, not your actual Sheet.

Here’s where your chatbot is really sending submissions:

• It posts data to your Google Apps Script Web App URL (the one you deployed ending in /exec).

• That script takes the data and appends it as a new row in your Google Sheet.

👉 To see your leads:

1. Open the same Google Sheet you tied to the script.

   • Log into Google Drive, find the sheet you used when you created the Apps Script.

   • If you followed my earlier example code, the script is writing into a tab named “Leads” (or the first tab if you didn’t change it).

2. Each time someone finishes the chat, you’ll see a new row appear with their answers: timestamp, name, phone, email, property info, etc.

✅ Quick check for you: Can you open the Sheet where you built the Apps Script and look for a tab called “Leads”? That’s where all test entries should be landing.

If you don’t see the new rows there, I can show you how to adjust the Apps Script so you know exactly which tab it’s writing to. Want me to walk you through that check?

Great—thanks for the sheet link. Right now your chatbot posts to your Apps Script Web App, and that script appends each lead to the Google Sheet + tab you configured inside the script.

You gave me this Sheet:
13KrWLaq-2IMKYWGtGth2iQCJqVDjJp5mSXJf30eZxgs (the ID in your URL)

It looks like your script may still be pointing to your older Sheet ID from earlier. Let’s point it to this one so you’ll actually see the rows.

Do this (quick)

1. Open your Apps Script (from the Sheet or at script.google.com).

2. In the code you pasted earlier, change these two lines:

javascript
CopyEdit
// Update both of these:
var SHEET_ID = '13KrWLaq-2IMKYWGtGth2iQCJqVDjJp5mSXJf30eZxgs'; // <-- use the ID from your link
var TAB_NAME = 'Leads'; // <-- change to your actual tab name if it's different

• Your tab name is shown on the bottom of the sheet (the little tab label).
  (The gid=1699705422 in your link is just an internal tab id; use the tab’s visible name for TAB_NAME.)

3. Click Deploy → Manage deployments → Edit your Web App → Deploy (keeps the same /exec URL).

4. Run a quick test in the chatbot.

5. Look in your sheet’s TAB_NAME for a new row (timestamp, name, phone, etc.).

If you still don’t see rows

• In Apps Script, go to Executions (left sidebar). You should see entries for your doPost; click one to verify it ran.

• Make sure you’re logged into the same Google account that owns the Sheet.

• Double-check the tab name spelling (must match exactly).

If you tell me the exact tab name you want to use (e.g., “Leads”, “Intake”, etc.), I’ll paste back your script with those two lines already set so you can just replace + deploy.

You got it—here’s a complete Google Apps Script you can paste directly into the Apps Script editor. It’s tailored to your Sheet ID and a tab named “Leads” (change the tab name in the code if yours is different).

javascript
CopyEdit
/**
 * Charleston Cash Buyers – Lead Intake (Web App)
 * Receives JSON from your chatbot and appends a row to your Google Sheet.
 *
 * HOW TO USE:
 * 1) Replace SHEET_ID with your Sheet's ID (already set below).
 * 2) Optionally change TAB_NAME ("Leads") to your sheet tab's name.

}

Yep—you’re ready to deploy. There are two pieces to “go live”:

1) Backend (Apps Script) — you already did this

Since you pasted the script and got the /exec URL, you’re good here.
If you ever change the script, do:

• Deploy → Manage deployments → Edit → Deploy (keeps the same /exec URL)

Quick check: In Apps Script, open Executions to see submissions arriving.

2) Frontend (the chatbot HTML) — host it at a real URL

Right now you’re opening the file locally. To let QR scans work, host the file so it has a public link.

Easiest options (pick one):

• Netlify Drop: drag the HTML file to get an instant *.netlify.app URL.

• Vercel: deploy the single HTML file and get a *.vercel.app URL.

• Your website: upload chatbot_final.html to your site and use that URL.

Once hosted, you’ll have a link like:

arduino
CopyEdit
https://yourdomain.com/chat?src=doorhanger

(You can change src per campaign: bandit, mailer, etc.—the bot already captures it.)

Important: You don’t need to change anything in the code for production. The bot is already posting to your Apps Script Web App.

How to test after hosting

1. Open the hosted URL in your phone.

2. Answer the prompts and finish the flow.

3. Check your Google Sheet → “Leads” tab for a new row.

4. In Apps Script → Executions, confirm a doPost ran.

Optional (nice-to-haves)

• Zapier SMS: Add a Zap “Catch Hook → Twilio SMS” to auto-text new leads.

• Unique QR params: Print different QR codes:
  ...?src=doorhanger, ...?src=bandit_ncharleston, ...?src=mailer_batch1 for attribution.

• Spanish variant: I can clone the page with Spanish prompts if your market needs it.

If you want, tell me where you plan to host (Netlify, Vercel, or your site), and I’ll give you the exact clicks for that platform.

Choose New deployment (not “Test deployments”).

Here’s exactly what to click:

1. In the Apps Script editor, click Deploy → New deployment.

2. Select type → Web app.

3. (Optional) Give it a name/description.

4. Execute as: Me

5. Who has access: Anyone with the link

6. Click Deploy and approve the permissions (Advanced → Continue).

7. Copy the Web App URL that ends with /exec.

Notes:

• For future code changes, use Deploy → Manage deployments → Edit → Deploy (keeps the same /exec URL).

• “Test deployments” won’t give you a usable public /exec link, so skip that for this Web App.

Awesome—let’s do a clean front-to-back test in small, sure steps. This will confirm the chatbot works for a visitor and that your Sheet is capturing everything.

A) Quick backend sanity check (Apps Script)

1. In your Apps Script project, open Deploy → Manage deployments and confirm you see your Web app with access = Anyone with the link.

2. In the left sidebar, click Executions. Leave this tab open—you’ll use it in Step C to verify a new doPost ran.

B) Simulate a customer using the bot

1. Open your latest chatbot file (from the canvas) in your browser.

2. Run through the flow using obvious test data, e.g.

   • City/State: “Charleston, SC”

   • Close timeline: “ASAP (0–30 days)”

   • Condition: “Needs work”

   • Price: “Skip”

   • Address: “123 Test St”

   • Name: “Test Seller”

   • Phone: “8435551212”

   • Email: “test@example.com” (or tap Skip)

3. Finish. You should see the friendly confirmation message.

C) Confirm the submission arrived

1. Go to your Google Sheet (the one your script points to: Sheet ID 13KrWLaq-2IMKYWGtGth2iQCJqVDjJp5mSXJf30eZxgs) and open the tab named “Leads” (or the tab you set in TAB_NAME).

2. You should see a new row at the bottom with your test values (Timestamp, Name, Phone, Email, Address, City/State, Timeline, Condition, Asking, Transcript, Client Timestamp).

3. Flip back to Apps Script → Executions. You should see a recent successful run of doPost. Click it to view details.

   • If you want extra certainty next time, you can add one line inside doPost in Apps Script:
     Logger.log(JSON.stringify(body));
     …then check the logs in Executions after a test.

D) If you don’t see a new row, check these

• SHEET_ID in the script matches your Sheet (you set it to 13KrWLaq-…xgs).

• TAB_NAME matches your visible tab name exactly (case/spelling).

• Deployed as Web app, and Who has access = Anyone with the link.

• You’re logged into the same Google account that owns the Sheet.

• Re-deploy after any script edits: Deploy → Manage deployments → Edit → Deploy.

E) (Optional, but recommended) Host it and test like a real lead

Local files work for testing, but for QR codes you’ll want a public link:

• Netlify Drop (easiest): drag-and-drop your HTML to get a *.netlify.app URL.

• Vercel: deploy the single HTML file for a *.vercel.app URL.

• Or upload to your own domain, e.g. https://charlestoncashbuyers.com/chat?src=doorhanger

Then scan a QR code that points to that URL and repeat Steps B → C.
(Your Apps Script URL stays the same—no changes needed in the code.)

If you want, tell me your Leads tab’s exact name and whether you prefer Netlify or Vercel, and I’ll give you the precise clicks for hosting plus a tiny tweak that logs each submission (handy for QA).

Perfect—here’s a clean front-to-back test checklist you can follow right now.

1) Confirm your backend (Apps Script) is ready

• In Apps Script: Deploy → Manage deployments → make sure your Web app shows Anyone with the link.

• In the left sidebar, open Executions (keep this tab open so you can see a new doPost appear after your test).

2) Open the chatbot and submit a test lead

• Use the latest file in your canvas (“Qr → Web Chatbot…”). Click Download, open it, and go through the chat.

• For easy spotting in the sheet, use a unique test value, e.g.:

  • Name: Test Seller 843

  • Address: 123 Test St

  • Phone: 8435551212

  • Email: test@example.com (or Skip)

3) Verify it hit your Sheet

• Open your Google Sheet (ID 13KrWLaq-2IMK…xgs) and go to the tab you set in the script (default Leads).

• You should see a new row with your test values (Timestamp, Name, Phone, Email, Address, City/State, Timeline, Condition, Asking, Transcript, Client Timestamp).

4) Double-check in Apps Script

• Switch to the Apps Script tab → Executions → you should see a fresh, successful doPost.

• Click it to view details (useful for troubleshooting if a row didn’t appear).

5) (Optional) Test like a real customer

• Host the HTML so you get a public URL (Netlify Drop or Vercel are quick).

• Open that URL on your phone (or scan a QR) and repeat steps #2–#4.

If something doesn’t show up in the Sheet

• Make sure the script uses:

  • SHEET_ID = '13KrWLaq-2IMKYWGtGth2iQCJqVDjJp5mSXJf30eZxgs'

  • TAB_NAME = 'Leads' (or your exact tab name)

• After any script edit: Deploy → Manage deployments → Edit → Deploy.

• Ensure you’re logged into the same Google account that owns the Sheet.

• Check Executions for errors; if needed, add inside doPost:

  js
  CopyEdit
  Logger.log(JSON.stringify(body));
  

  Then trigger another test and review the log in Executions.

Want me to add simple source tracking (e.g., ?src=doorhanger or ?src=bandit) and include it in the payload so you see campaign attribution in your Sheet? I can wire that into the canvas file in one pass.

Great—one tiny step at a time.

Step 1

In the Apps Script Deploy → New deployment window, leave Who has access set to “Anyone” and click Deploy.

When you see the Web app URL (it ends with /exec), copy it.

Reply “done” when you’ve copied it.

Step 1

In the Manage deployments window, find the row labeled Web app and click the pencil icon (Edit) on that row.
(If you don’t see a Web app row yet, click New deployment instead and choose Web app.)

Reply “done” when you’ve clicked it.

Thanks for sharing that screen—perfect.

Quick heads-up: I tried to update your chatbot file in the canvas to use your new Web App URL, but the update failed on my end. No worries—we’ll do it manually, one step at a time.

Step 2

Open your chatbot HTML file in a text editor (Notepad, TextEdit, VS Code), find the line that starts with:

javascript
CopyEdit
const GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL = "https://script.google.com/macros/s/...";

and replace the whole line with this (exactly):

javascript
CopyEdit
const GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL = "https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbxEdhO3UaBT3DwQw_UulYw-FDpF75Zykuf-zvgLcruH8pLEhlzDIAn_2gVTj3rAk-lz/exec";

Save the file.

Reply “done” when you’ve saved it.

Great—nice work.

Step 3

Open your chatbot HTML file (the one you just edited) by double-clicking it.
Make sure you see the greeting and the first prompt.

Reply “done” once it’s open and showing the greeting.

Thanks—since you’re in good shape on the deployment, let’s keep going one step at a time.

Quick note: I tried to update the canvas file so its GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL matches your new /exec link, but that update failed on my end. No problem—you already updated your local file, which is what you’re testing from.

Step 4

In the chatbot window you opened, complete a test submission using easy test values (e.g., “Test Seller 843”, “123 Test St”, phone 8435551212). Go all the way until you see the final confirmation message.

Reply “done” once you’ve finished the test submission.

Thanks for the quick update, Todd.

Step 5

Click this to download the corrected file (it uses your new /exec URL and only shows the friendly final message):

Download chatbot_ccb_latest.html

Save it, then double-click to open it in your browser.
Run a quick test submission.

Reply “done” when you’ve tested it.

Nice—here’s a fresh build that includes your latest wording and your current Web App URL.

Download chatbot_ccb_test.html

Open it in your browser and run through a quick test. If you want this same version saved back into the canvas file, say “save this to canvas” and I’ll sync it.

Done! I updated the canvas to use your wording:

“🙏 Thank you for reaching out. Todd or another member of his team will contact you shortly to talk through your situation and outline the next steps toward an offer.”

And here’s a fresh file with that exact text (and your latest Web App URL) so you can test immediately:

Download chatbot_ccb_textchange.html

Open it, run a quick test, and check your Leads sheet for the new row. If you want me to sync any other copy tweaks into the canvas file or adjust the prompts further, say the word.

Good catch—fixed the ending so it reads “toward an offer.”

Download chatbot_ccb_offerfix.html

Open it and run a quick test; the final message now ends with offer (not of). If you want me to sync this exact wording back into the canvas file too, say “save to canvas” and I’ll lock it in.

Awesome—let’s test end-to-end, one tiny step at a time.

Step 1 — Submit a test lead like a seller

1. Open your latest local HTML file (the one you edited; double-click it).

2. Go through the chat using these test values so they’re easy to spot later:

   • City/State: Charleston, SC

   • Close timeline: ASAP (0–30 days)

   • Condition: Needs work

   • Price: Skip

   • Address: 123 Test St

   • Name: Test Seller CCB

   • Phone: 8435551212

   • Email: test@example.com (or Skip)

3. Continue until you see the final “Thank you for reaching out…” message.

Reply “done” once you’ve completed Step 1. Then I’ll give you Step 2 to verify it on the backend.

Totally normal—phones can’t open local files. We’ll put your chatbot at a simple public URL first, then test.

Step 1

On your computer, open this page in a browser:
https://app.netlify.com/drop

(That’s Netlify Drop. If it asks you to log in, just create a free account.)

Reply “done” when that page is open.

Yes — to get the true end-to-end experience (like a real seller), first we need a public link for the chatbot. Then we’ll point your dynamic QR at that link.

Step 1 — Host the chatbot to get a public URL

1. On your computer, open this page: https://app.netlify.com/drop

2. Drag-and-drop your latest file (the one you tested): chatbot_ccb_offerfix.html

   • This file already has your correct Apps Script URL and final message.

3. Netlify will give you a public link like: https://something.netlify.app
   Copy that full link.

Reply with the Netlify link once you have it.
(Next step will be: make a QR in QRChimp using YOUR_LINK/?src=test so we can track the scan.)

You’re seeing the Git repo screen. We want Netlify Drop (drag-and-drop), not “Import from Git.”

Step 1

Open this page in a new tab: https://app.netlify.com/drop

(If it asks you to sign in, use a free Netlify account.)

Reply “done” when you’ve got the Netlify Drop page open.

Great.

Step 2

On the Netlify Drop page you opened, drag-and-drop your latest file — use the one you just tested that works (e.g., chatbot_ccb_offerfix.html or chatbot_ccb_textchange.html).

Netlify will deploy it and show you a public link like https://something.netlify.app.

Reply with that link once you see it.

Great—let’s get this hosted the right way so Netlify accepts it.

Step 1 — Prepare the file for hosting

On your computer:

1. Create a new folder named ccb-chat (anywhere, e.g., Desktop).

2. Put your latest working HTML file in that folder and rename it to exactly index.html.

Reply “done” when the folder contains a single file named index.html.

Nice! Your public link is: https://gorgeous-boba-568c7a.netlify.app

Step 1

On your phone, open this exact link so we can track the source:

ruby
CopyEdit
https://gorgeous-boba-568c7a.netlify.app/?src=qr_test

Go through the chat using quick test values (e.g., City/State: Charleston, SC · Address: 123 Test St · Name: Test Seller · Phone: 8435551212). When you reach the final “Thank you…” message, reply “done” and I’ll give you the next step to verify it on the backend.

Got it—“Page not found” on Netlify usually means the site exists but there isn’t a deployed index.html at the root yet.

Step 1

On your computer, make sure you have a folder (e.g., ccb-chat) that contains one file named exactly index.html (this should be your latest working chatbot file).

Reply “done” once that folder is ready.

Perfect.

Step 1

In that folder, rename the file to exactly: index.html
(Keep only this one file in the folder for now.)

Reply “done” when it’s renamed.

Awesome.

Step 2

On the Netlify Drop page (the one that lets you drag files), drag your ccb-chat folder (the one containing only index.html) onto the big upload area.

• Wait a few seconds—Netlify will deploy it and show a public link like https://something.netlify.app.

Reply with that link once you see it. If you accidentally land on the “Import from Git” screen again, make sure you’re at app.netlify.com/drop.

Great — we’ve got a live link now. Let’s test one tiny step at a time.

Step 1

On your phone, open this exact link:

ruby
CopyEdit
https://velvety-paletas-b336bf.netlify.app/?src=qr_test

You should see the Charleston Cash Buyers chat greeting.

Reply “done” when it’s open and you see the greeting.

Got it—404 means the site doesn’t have a published index.html at the root. Let’s fix it cleanly.

Step 1

Open https://app.netlify.com/drop and drag in your ccb-chat folder (the one that contains exactly one file named index.html).

When it finishes, Netlify will show you a new public URL (it will not be the old velvety-paletas… link).
Please paste that new URL here.

Totally get the frustration—let’s lock this down with tiny, clear steps.

Step 1

In the canvas (your chatbot code), click Download and save the file as index.html into a new empty folder on your computer (e.g., ccb-site).

Reply “done” when you’ve saved index.html into an empty folder.

Step 2

Go to https://app.netlify.com/drop and deploy the site:

• Best way: drag your folder that contains only index.html onto the big upload area.

• If drag won’t work in your browser: click “Upload folder” and choose that same folder.

• If Netlify refuses a folder: right-click the folder → Compress → upload the ZIP instead.

When Netlify finishes, it will show you a public URL like https://something.netlify.app.

Reply with that link once you have it.

Great — you’ve deployed. Let’s grab your public URL.

Step 1

On the Netlify page you’re on now, look for one of these and click it:

• Open site (top-right), or

• Continue to dashboard → then click Open production deployment (or Preview) on the latest deploy.

You’ll land on a URL like https://something.netlify.app.
Copy that full link and paste it here.

Perfect — your site is live 🎉

Step 1

On your phone, open this exact link:

ruby
CopyEdit
https://mellifluous-raindrop-17a93d.netlify.app/?src=qr_test

You should see the Charleston Cash Buyers greeting.

Reply “done” when it’s open and you see the greeting.

Totally fixable—let’s verify what Netlify actually published.

Step 1

Open your Netlify dashboard for mellifluous-raindrop-17a93d, go to Deploys, click the latest Production deploy, then click Browse files (sometimes labeled “Deploy file browser”).

Reply done when the file list is open.

No problem—let’s nail this in tiny, concrete steps.

Step 1 — Quick check for the file

On your phone (or computer), open this exact URL:

bash
CopyEdit
https://mellifluous-raindrop-17a93d.netlify.app/index.html?src=qr_test

If you see your chatbot, great. If you still get 404, go to Step 2.

Step 2 — Re-publish the site with a clean upload

We’ll upload a ZIP that contains only index.html at the root.

On your computer:

• Put your working index.html in an empty folder (e.g., ccb-site).

• Create a ZIP of that folder:

  • Mac: Right-click the folder → Compress “ccb-site” → this makes ccb-site.zip.

  • Windows: Right-click the folder → Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder.

On Netlify:

1. Open your site dashboard for mellifluous-raindrop-17a93d.

2. In the left menu, click Deploys.

3. Click Upload deploy (button near the top).

4. Upload the ZIP you just created.

When it finishes, Netlify will publish it immediately.

Reply “done” once you’ve uploaded the ZIP. Then we’ll test the live link with ?src=qr_test and confirm your Google Sheet gets the row.

You’re on the right screen. Let’s fix the 404 with a clean redeploy — one tiny step at a time.

Step 1

On your computer, zip just the file index.html (not the whole folder).

• Mac: right-click index.html → Compress “index.html” → this creates index.html.zip

• Windows: right-click index.html → Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder → index.html.zip

Reply done when you have index.html.zip.

Step 2

In Netlify, upload your ZIP to publish:

1. Open your site mellifluous-raindrop-17a93d in Netlify.

2. Go to Deploys (left sidebar).

3. Click Upload deploy.

4. Select your index.html.zip and confirm.

Reply “done” when you see a new Published deploy entry.

Step 3

On your phone, open this exact URL (note the /index.html):

bash
CopyEdit
https://mellifluous-raindrop-17a93d.netlify.app/index.html?src=qr_test

You should see the Charleston Cash Buyers greeting.

Reply “done” once it’s open and you see the greeting.

Totally fixable. To avoid the Netlify 404 loop, we’ll host the chatbot directly on Google (same place as your backend). That gives you a clean public link you can put in QRChimp.

Step 1

On your computer, open script.google.com and click + New project.

Reply “done” when the blank Apps Script project is open.

Great. We’ll host the chat page right inside this Apps Script project so you get a clean public link for QRChimp.

Step 2

In the Apps Script editor, create a new HTML file:

• Click + → HTML.

• Name it exactly: Index

• Open the canvas file (“Qr → Web Chatbot…”) and copy everything in it.

• Paste all of that into the new Index file.

• Make sure this line in the pasted code has your current backend URL (it should already):

  js
  CopyEdit
  const GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBAPP_URL = "https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbxEdhO3UaBT3DwQw_UulYw-FDpF75Zykuf-zvgLcruH8pLEhlzDIAn_2gVTj3rAk-lz/exec";
  

• Click Save.

Reply done when that’s pasted and saved, and I’ll give you the next (very short) step.

Perfect—that means you only pasted a tiny snippet. We’ll fix it one step at a time.

Step 1

In the Apps Script editor, open the Index (HTML) file and replace everything in it with the entire HTML from your canvas titled:

“Qr → Web Chatbot For Warm Seller Leads (single-file Html)”

(Select all in the canvas → copy → paste into the Index file so it starts with <!DOCTYPE html> and includes the long <script> with the chat flow.)

Click Save.

Reply done when that’s saved.

Perfect—here’s everything to copy/paste.

A) Index (HTML) — paste this into the HTML file you created (named Index)

Replace anything in that file with the entire block below:

html
